Assignments for Reserves will be made available by an automated communication system accessible no later than 1930 HDT.
The automated communication system may be accessed by calling 1-800-FLT-LINE, and following the prompts. All Reserves scheduled to be available for the following day (except those currently working a pairing) must ascertain their assignment between 1930 and 2400 HDT by utilizing one of the automated means.
Whether using CCS or the automated communication system, a Reserve will receive one of the following assignments for the next day:

Important Note: A Reserve is responsible for any assignment made during the 1930 assignment process, whether or not they have acknowledged the assignment. It cannot be stressed enough, a Flight Attendant assigned Ready Reserve will not receive an acknowledgment and in her/his Master Schedule there will be no indicator that the Flight Attendant has been assigned Ready Reserve other than the day will appear as a Reserve day (blank) in the Master Schedule. The Reserve must remain available for contact. At any time if you are uncertain of your assignment, contact Crew Scheduling.
